A roulette payout chart is short, and the useful version has one extra column: what each bet costs. The payouts are the same on every standard wheel; the cost depends on how many pockets the wheel has and, for even-money bets, whether the table has a half-back rule. This page is the chart with that column filled in, and the pages behind it take each part further.
The chart
| Bet | Numbers | Pays | European (37) | French even-money | American (38) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Straight-up | 1 | 35:1 | 2.70% | 2.70% | 5.26% |
| Split | 2 | 17:1 | 2.70% | 2.70% | 5.26% |
| Street | 3 | 11:1 | 2.70% | 2.70% | 5.26% |
| Corner | 4 | 8:1 | 2.70% | 2.70% | 5.26% |
| Six line | 6 | 5:1 | 2.70% | 2.70% | 5.26% |
| Dozen / column | 12 | 2:1 | 2.70% | 2.70% | 5.26% |
| Red / black, odd / even, 1–18 / 19–36 | 18 | 1:1 | 2.70% | 1.35% | 5.26% |
| Basket (0, 00, 1, 2, 3) | 5 | 6:1 | — | — | 7.89% |
The percentages are the house edge: the share of each bet the casino keeps over the long run. Two cells are in bold because they are the only ones that break the pattern, one in the player's favour and one against.
Payout versus return
"35 to 1" is winnings. The stake comes back on top. A £5 straight-up that wins puts £180 in the balance, of which £175 is profit on the spin. Some screens quote "36 for 1", which includes the stake and means the same thing. When two sources differ by exactly one on any payout, that is why.

Why the edge is flat
A straight-up on a 37-pocket wheel would fairly pay 36:1; it pays 35:1, one unit short in 37. A dozen would fairly pay 25/12 to 1; it pays 2:1, which is also one unit short in 37 when the arithmetic is done. Every standard payout gives up the same fraction, so no bet is better value than another on the same wheel. The house-edge page shows the working for every row.
Payouts that differ from the chart
Multiplier live tables: straight-up 29:1 on unstruck numbers, 50:1 to 500:1 on struck ones. Mini Roulette: 11:1 on a 13-pocket wheel. 100/1 Roulette: 100:1 on a 105-position track. Double Ball: roughly half the inside payouts, with a special bet on both balls. Each is a different game and each has its own paytable in the help screen; the chart above is for standard wheels only.
The two cells that matter
Even-money on a French table with La Partage: 1.35%. The basket on an American table: 7.89%. One is the cheapest bet in roulette and worth seeking out; the other is the most expensive standard bet and worth avoiding. Everything else on a given wheel costs the same, and the choice between the rows is about how you want the session to feel.

People also ask
What does roulette pay on a single number?
35 to 1. A £1 bet returns £36: £35 in winnings plus the stake. This is the same on European, French and American wheels; what differs is how often it wins, 1 in 37 or 1 in 38.
What pays the most in roulette?
The straight-up at 35 to 1 on a standard table. Multiplier tables can pay 50 to 500 times on a struck number, and some jackpot tables far more, but those tables reduce the ordinary straight-up payout to fund it.
Why do all roulette bets have the same house edge?
Because every payout is calculated as if the wheel had 36 pockets. The extra pocket, or two, is the house's share, and it is the same fraction of every bet: 1/37 on a single-zero wheel, 2/38 on a double-zero one.
